So far the case against Peter Coffey does notseem to be very strong one.
 English as she is printed in Mexico: ''Srita Alejandra Argandar is prone to give freely lessons on English language at the public schools of the city"
 The suspension of the Catholic Herald, Father McGlynn's chief champion, is not en- couraging to those who think that McGlynn can successfully defy the power of Rome.
 A Georgia papsr has discovered why so many school teachers are old maids. It is because no woman of sense is willing to give up sixty-dollar position for ten-dollar man.
 Edward Atkinson gets hold of some very interesting facts, and he has an interesting way of putting them. He says that the say. ing of the last four years on all the railroads of the country, as compared to what the work would have cost 20 years ago, has been $750, ,000, ,000 year, or $3,000,0 ,000, 900 in all. This reduction in the railroad charge for car rying food, fuel flores and fabrics about the country is equal to per cent. reduction in cost to consumers on the entire product of everything made in the United States in each year.
 An industrial school for boys is proposed at Chicago by Mrs. Celia W. Wallace, arioh and philanthropic woman. She wants an in- corporation with capital of $500, ,000 and 8 large and interested public support. The idea is to have the institution both home and school, and besides the dormitories and work shop there will be military drill room and g school house where the rudiments of an edu- cation can be acquired while the boy is learn ing a trade in the workshop. Homeless waifs will be taken there and have a chance. There will be nothing to prevent any boy going back to the street if he chooses, and it 1 is thought that this liberty will naturally sift out the hcpelessly bad, leaving in the school those worth saving.
 It isn't everybody that can lose $5, ,000, 900 l or $10, 900, 900, but Mrs. Bernice Chateau has | managed to do it. She has lost her suit for l dover in some 1 800 acres of the most yalua- l ble land in the French bottoms" at Kansas 1 City. Her husband, Francis Chateau. who
 died in 1885, was employed by the St. Louis Fur company and pre-empted the land in question, which he sold in 40 and AS acre tracts to the French traders. In none of 1 these sales did Mrs. Chateau relinquish her I right of dover, but from the time of her hus-
 bands death till last year she took no action | on her rights. Meanwhile the value of the
 land had risen till it was worth from S, ,000,- l 900 to S10, ,000, 900, and it has just been de- l cided that it would be unjust to disturb those | who have bought and paid for it.
